Chapter 718 Marrying the Wrong Man or the Right One? (39)
"Does the princess particularly need something inside?"
"Xiao Xixi, I really need the Dream Soul Grass and the White Spirit Flower because my grandmother was poisoned and my prince is busy with government affairs. I must find the antidote."
"Is it possible that no one in the palace is looking for it?"
"Of course they sent people to look for her, but I am also worried. After all, the Imperial Grandmother treats me very well. I don't want to see her suffer, and I want her to stay with me for a few more years."
Gu Yuxi fell into deep thought. She didn't want to be a doctor in this world, but she still owed Princess Yunrong a favor.
"Xiao Xixi, help me, please, you are the best."
His arm was shaken violently, and Gu Yuxi said, "I'm not a doctor."
"I know, but you know the entrance to the valley. There are poisonous snakes and beasts outside, and it's thick with fog. If you don't go, I can't think of anyone else who can go."
"How do you know what you're looking for is in the Magic Grass Valley?"
"Because I picked up the herbal medicine book that was burned by Gu Fenghuan. I knew you must have let her burn it on purpose, but I thought the things inside were interesting, so I kept half of the content."
Thinking back to the time when she came to Beijing disguised herself as a seller of dog-skin plasters and was harassed by Gu Fenghuan, she kept wondering where her book had gone.
I just found out today that it was sandwiched among that pile of strange stories and burned by Gu Fenghuan.
"Some of the things in your book are quite useful. Can you let me see the remaining half?"
Looking at Yun Rong's watery eyes, Gu Yuxi said, "It's been a long time. Besides, half of the book was burned. Where can I find it? Even if you knock my head thousands of times, I won't remember it."
"Let's go together!" Yun Rong coaxed, put his head on Gu Yuxi's shoulder, sniffed, and said, "You smell so good."
"You stupid girl, keep your dog nose away."
"You are so bad, Gu Yuxi. I have a dog nose and you have a pig nose and a cow nose! Do you agree or not? If you don't agree, I will kidnap your daughter to be my daughter-in-law!" Yun Rong pointed at Gu Yuxi and said.
"Why don't you even let go of a baby?"
"You must have a solution, please help me!"
Being shaken so hard, Gu Yuxi felt it was too painful and raised his hand and said, "Stop!"
"I knew you would help me."
Gu Yuxi thought for a few seconds and said, "I pulled out the seedlings of Dream Soul Grass and White Spirit Flower and planted them in my house now. These two things cannot be exposed to the sun, rain or snow."
"Yeah, yeah, you're really smart. Why didn't I think of taking the seeds at the beginning?"
"If you want it, I'll give you something that blooms easily, and a few seedlings. If you damage it, you won't have any left."
Yun Rong immediately put the three fingers of his right hand together, raised them up and said, "I promise, I won't come after you if it breaks down."
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave."
Seeing Gu Yuxi stand up, Yun Rong pressed her down on the chair and complained, "You heartless woman, you didn't come to the capital to see me in all these years, and now you won't even sit with me for a while."
"I am a married woman."
"This princess is also a married woman, but is your husband dead or not? If he is dead, I will introduce you to a good one, a handsome one, rich and powerful..."
"My husband is not dead. I said that from the beginning."
"Ah! That's the end of General Wu's career."
Gu Yuxi said seriously: "General Wu and I have no romantic relationship, we have only met a few times."
"Didn't you give Madam Wu your treasured elixir to cure her illness? I thought you two were in love."
"When a man is infatuated, it is still possible to talk about it. But when a woman is infatuated, it is impossible to talk about it. Your Highness, you are mistaken."
"Okay, okay, I'll just stay alone in the empty room."
Seeing Gu Yuxi reaching out to take her daughter away, Yun Rong turned around and said, "Woman, this is my daughter-in-law, you are not allowed to touch her."
"You've taken advantage of me enough, give it to me."
"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me! How good of you to be."
Yun Rong was planning to make some noise with Gu Yuxi for a while longer, but she didn't expect to hear the sound of hand-to-hand combat outside the garden.
Yun Rong: "Xiao Xixi saved me, could it be an assassin?"
Gu Yuxi said: "I'll go take a look, don't be afraid."
Outside the courtyard gate, a man carrying a machete asked in a stern voice, "Where are my wife and children?"
"Who are you? This is not a place where you can just come whenever you want."
"He looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect that he is a fraud."
"This general does not know where your wife and children are. Young man, please do not be angry. Wu will go with you to look for them."
"Stop pretending here. Someone saw my wife and children being taken away by you. Get lost!"
Bang!
Before Gu Yuxi reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw that Shi An had returned to Menghua City at some point. He was now stepping in through the broken door, and his eyes became brighter and brighter when he saw her.
Shi An trotted over, pulled the woman to his side, held her shoulders and said seriously: "Don't be afraid, no one can bully you."
"How did you come?"
"I couldn't find you when I got home. I thought you were taking the kids to see the lanterns, but when I got to West Street, I saw Gu Zhicheng coming out of the gambling house. He laughed at me for being cuckolded and said you ran off with a lover."
"How are you talking!"
"Ahem!" Yun Rong came over with the child in her arms and said to the man, "Captain Shi, you came here with a machete, are you planning to assassinate this princess?"
Shi An looked at the woman and immediately knelt down: "I didn't know that Her Royal Highness the Princess was here, and I offended Her Royal Highness. Please punish me and let my wife and children go."
"You... No, didn't you tell my brother that your wife is the ugliest woman in the world? She makes me want to vomit when I see her. You would rather lead the troops to fight than go home to see that ugly woman. Why..."
"Princess, be careful!"
Seeing that Gu Yuxi's face was becoming more and more gloomy and Shi An was becoming more and more nervous, Yun Rong realized that he had said the wrong thing.
The attendant knelt down and said, "I failed in my duty and failed to stop the man. Your Highness, please forgive me."
Looking at Wu Chenlin's lonely figure, Yun Rong said sympathetically: "General Wu, you guys should withdraw."
"Yes."
Gu Yuxi said: "Your Highness, please forgive me. He didn't know the severity of the situation and disturbed Your Highness. He should be punished."
Yun Rong held the child in front of the two people and finally stuffed the child into Gu Yuxi's arms and shook her head: "Captain Shi, you didn't want my brother to be your matchmaker. Do you just like ugly women like this?"
"Your Highness, please let me go. I was wrong at the beginning. My wife and I love each other very much. Please don't say anything more."
"Stand up and speak."
Shi An said: "My wife can't speak. Princess, if you are angry, just blame me and let my wife and children go."
"I am not that kind of person. Xiao Xixi and I have a bond that is stronger than gold. You don't understand."
"You and my wife..."
"We are a perfect match, friends for life and death. By the way, this is my future daughter-in-law."
Shi An immediately knelt down and said, "My son is still young, please let him go, Princess."
"Why are you kneeling again? But you did interrupt my chat with Xiao Xixi. Go back. She is mine tonight."
